mele le PAPERS There is much to 


be said about wall 
i: papers and of the uses for which they are intended. 
The artistic or decorative effect of the designs to 

‘s) be used in the home must be considered as carefully 
- as their appropriateness. It is an accepted prin- 
i 4 i f ciple in all decorative art that decoration must not 


eT 


«ay, 


Tt 


e interfere with usefulness. 


Wall paper is, perhaps, more thoughtlessly pur- 
chased than any other of the necessities of life. 


Within the pages of this volume we offer illustrations showing the 
correct ideas in wall decorations; by which we mean the utilization in the 
most artistic manner the designs presented. 


Good decoration involves three important points: (1) Quality in 
color. (2) Quality in design. (3) Arrangement of color and design. 

The purpose of decorating is to enable us to view the four walls 
without unpleasantness to the eyes and restlessness to the mind. There- 
fore, it is evident that the problem of decoration embodies two factors. 
viz: Vision and Consciousness. 


You will understand the importance of securing good designs in 
wall papers. The possibilities to purchase better ideas have kept pace 
with the achievements of the manufacturer, and it is no longer neces- 
sary to use other than the newest and best wall paper. 


We display the many ideas shown in “Home Decoration” not as 
they are regularly shown by the dealer, but by a “different” way we 
produce a treatment of every design for each and every room. 


We offer these “color schemes’? and 1909 fashions for the purpose 
of safeguarding against disappointment in the selection of wall papers. 


ALFRED PEATS COMPANY 


NEW YORK BOSTON CHICAGO 


SHE CLUB DINING ROOM 


The popularity of the “Club” is so universal 
nowadays that each member of the family holds 
claim to a membership. 


If we think of the golf, motor, riding, yacht or 
social club, we are sure to “breathe” recollections 
of the “cafe.” The spacious four walls of the club 
dining room encircle and hold us in the charm of 
their artistic blending of colors. 


The page opposite exemplifies a successful treat- 
ment of the club dining room. The illustration depicts a color scheme 
based upon a knowledge of the Science of Art and Decoration. 


To execute a decoration for the cafe and also appeal to the tastes of 
all club members, requires thoughtful study. The absence of careful 
study is apparent in so many cases that there is no escape for the eyes 
from the glare of hideous contrasting of colors. 


Obtrusive decoration is worse than no decoration. Unstinted use of 
words may express sentiments of harmony, but the execution of good 
ideas, both from an artistic and scientific standpoint, will appeal more 
forcibly to those who believe in “better done than said,” rather than 
the old adage which says, “say it but don’t do it.” 


The design shown in sketch I is one of the new crown effects and 
‘offers a splendid opportunity to decorate exquisitely. This treatment is 
equally appropriate for a breakfast room or country dining room as well 
as forithe Club. 


The numbers below constitute the various parts of the sketch. We 
also give the quantity necessary to paper a room I2xI5 and 10 feet 
high with four openings. If your room is larger add one roll and two 
crowns for each foot, or deduct the same amount for every foot if 
smaller.

Wi 1en the ash puts forth her delay- 
ARLOR * 


buds amid the surrounding 
greenness it is oe a sign that Spring—(fresh- 
ness, newness) is at hand. 

If we wait long enough most things come to us, 
or we arrive at them and the strong wish makes 
its fulfillment. 

At any rate we always find that the advent of 
Spring awakens those cherished dreams which sug- 
gest annually, unviolated by any disillusional sua: 
ties, the thought that we must decorate. 

Fancy has always cloudless skies above the horizon and duty not 
unlike Nature demands new decorations everywhere. 

In early Spring fashion portrays its designs in various colors and 
tones and in the round of suggestions offers suitable and artistic ideas 
admirably,—there are but c to whom its voice is unheard. It forces 
them willingly into the whirlpool of necessity and they only escape when 
the walls of the home are freshened with new Spr ing-like wall papers. 

But the present moment when we are once more beginning not only 
to decorate finely but to do so with knowledge, and to furnish our homes 
by the aid of expert advice, we find it a pleasant task rather than one to 
be dreaded. 

It is the peculiar merit of “Home Decoration” that makes it com- 
pletely representative ae so supplies the wants of this “all-round ap- 
preciation.” 

Looking at the apa collection of examples shown in this volume, 
the individuality of the work is most impressive and they are just those 
ideas which are called “different” from ordinary designs in wall pa- 
pers. They are original from the base-board to the eaves and finials. 

The interior opposite is indeed a choice bit of color for the Parlor and 
we recommend it as a modern and appropriate decoration. The num- 
bers of the patterns used and quantities of each for a room 12 by 15 and 
10 feet high are given below. We have allowed for 4 openings which 
is an average miiiiber of doors and windows in a room.

The lattice paper is hung in the usual way on the lower YZ of wall space except 
cut away background in each half square at top which gives it an applique effect on 
the upper wall which is papered with the Jaspe paper No. 4233. The paper rail di- 
vides the two walls. The floral stripes are cut from wall hanging No. 3274 and 
placed directly under each crown. To interweave stems as per sketch cut a square 
of lattice without background and place over stems.

The newness of a crown and base decoration in a room makes it a charming feat- 
ure. Aside from the fact that it has a sort of “tailored effect” it is seemingly de- 
signed especially for the room in which it is used.

IVING ROOM The competent 


architect is most 
successful in convincing us that good architecture 
is the best. 

He so contrives that his plans shall themselves 
convince his clients of the importance of profes- 
sional service. To glance at the exterior of home 
after home recalls the fact that their outward 
appearance is absolutely and unmistakably attrac- 
tive. There is little need of improvement at all. 
They afford fascinating examples for contrast and comparison. 

The enrichment of the interiors is not so well cared for. It is at 
this point the client takes a hand and many times destroys a promis- 
ing palace. 

In many of the old famous houses of Europe during the Tudor, 
Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, the architect went hand in hand with 
his faithful decorator and in consequence their success was due in a 
great measure to the fact that they followed closely the necessary 
requirements for the interiors and decorations in the period conforming 
with the houses he built. 

Before deciding finally on the wall papers for the home, the first 
question to ask is to what extent can you rely upon your own knowl- 
edge and what part of your judgment in color and design is sufficiently 
equal to the occasion. 

We have no hesitation in saying that the illustrations in this volume 
are suggestive of accurate study. This fact will tell the thoughtful 
reader they are not of an illusive imagination. 

The living room sketch contributes a beautiful arrangement of the 
four walls of this important room. The numbers of the designs, motifs, 
borders, etc., with sufficient quantity of each for the average room men- 
tioned heretofore, are printed below:

ED ROOM If it be true as a contemporary 
Pa has recently said that we may 
a almost determine the relative importance of any 
movement by the number of new books it has 
evoked, then we must conclude that Decorative Art 
has within the last few years taken a most extra- 
ordinary hold on the public mind, for the number 
of books on the subject is as the sands of the sea. 


Of the multitude of “Art Series” on interior 
decoration now being published, none is quite so 
complete as Alfred Peats’ “Home Decoration.” 
The plan of giving a short, critical and biographical account of artists 
accompanied with three-color reproductions of their work should be 
ereatly commended. 


To the present writer there seems to be a curious parallel between 
all great artists, perhaps no more than the inevitable resemblance that 
must always be found between great masters of the same craft, who are 
all informed by the same lofty ideals and noble intellectuality. 


A celebrated authority is quoted in reference to the word “Nature.” 
“They say that I ignore her; but they fail to understand that I do not 
merely copy Nature; I draw my inspiration from her,” and it is neces- 
sary to cut away from Nature everything that is ineffective and acci- 
dental. “Art completes what Nature roughly sketches,” might have 
been uttered by every master in expressing his attitude towards art. 


In wall papers the abundant designs are well executed and reproduce 
natural flowers, foliage, etc., almost to perfection. The sketch opposite 
suggests an artistic arrangement of a sleeping apartment. the soses 
appear as if real and full of life. A fascinating example of the ingen- 
uity of the artist.

and hanging on plain chambray No. 3348. The mitred photo rail should fit each wali

a vom | NING ROO It is one of the delight- 
ax Ve ful features of the age 
mn % we live in that in spite of the whirl of business 


activity, we have not lost sight of distinctive note 
in the designing of wall hangings. 


We not only reproduce splendidly the triumphs 
of the eighteenth century, but we apparently have 
the inspiration of our own to reflect the times we 
live in as other periods reflected theirs. 


Wall papers should reflect the conditions of 

social life and it is this quite true idea that under- 

lies the designs offered in the pages of “Home Decoration.” The pat- 
tern in the sketch opposite has the effect of being very slightly inlaid 
here and there with a design of fruit or simple lines to break the surface. 


The object the artist had in mind was to portray an artistic and 
appropriate Dining Room wall decoration, not only for the home but 
for the apartment now that so many people have discovered the advan- 
tages of the latter form of dwelling. It can readily be seen the effect of 
the illustration is charming. 


The latticed crown is effective and decorative without any of the 
extravagance in line and detail that is often found to be a continual 
blemish on the walls of so many rooms we have seen papered. 


The variety of designs to be had are unlimited and inexpensive. 
All lovers of good decoration will appreciate the many schemes dis- 
played throughout this volume, thus providing them with dainty and 
decorative wall papers which will never look out of place or unduly 
severe in their rooms and whose price is within the range of even slender 
purses. 


The numbers of the patterns exemplified in the colored drawing is 
given below:

cove moulding. The pendant may repeat as often as fancy dictates. However, suggest 
that you use them as shown (18 inches apart) or to vary the effect drop down in the 
four corners of the room about 12 inches each way from the angle.

IBBRARY H Ale To see splendid de- 


signs either misused 
or merely placed together without any attempt to 
classify, to reconcile or to harmonize, is a frequent 
mistake with many people who have the task before 
them of decorating the home that they are to live in. 

The fault lies in the fact that they visit a mer- 
chant who sells wall paper merely for profit and 
who offers just such designs as suit his own purse. 

In the Alfred Peats’ stores they deal with the 
subject of decoration to the minutest detail, and in 
“Home Decoration’—their artistic representative—you will find, filled 
with useful hints and color schemes. 

The style in which the latter information is proffered gains for the 
author the confidence of the reader, and to those who are interested in 
the subject comes the satisfaction as they lay the book aside that they 
have acquired knowledge in theoretical and practical views of Deco- 
ration. . 

It is given to few writers to thoroughly realize the niceties which 
surround the modern circumstance. In this book the author and the 
artists are particularly fortunate, for not only may the novice become 
initiated in what best concerns him, but the experienced may find pleas- 
ure in digesting the reminiscences of observant minds. 

To determine the amount of paper for a hall and stairway, first 
measure all of the strips (18 inches wide) of the same length; take this 
number and multiply by the height and divide by 24, the number of 
feet in a roll. In the “well” of a stairway, count the strips of even 
length, or singly, as they may prove, and total the amount of running 
feet in all the strips and divide as above. This will give you the quan- 
tity in rolls. 

The numbers designated below display the different patterns used in 
the decoration.

The wall effect (plain) is of brown Holzmehl. The art stems are cut from pat-

CtAityesnon 
the applied arts urge the advantages of simplicity— 
its comfort, comeliness and cleanliness—especially 
in regard to home decoration, it will, no doubt, 
become so popular that we need never dread a 
return to the bare walls and bare boards of our 
forefathers. 


This danger past and the groundwork of sever- 
ity and simplicity having been once more attained, 
wise study and the best ideas in wall papers has 
resulted in what may be considered a “characteristic style of to-day.” 


It is on these lines that the artist has worked out his sketches; and a 
glance at the many illustrations which are drawn from the actual papers 
will prove at once how successful he has been in establishing a distinct 
character in his charming work. 


It is a mere truism to say that painted sketches must lose something 
when reproduced in the three-color process. The most perfect photo- 
eraph of the day is not able to retain perfect color values, to say 
nothing of the tints themselves. The best that the camera can accom- 
plish has been placed at the service of the publisher, in this work, and 
the result is a portfolio of beautifully reproduced effects of our new 
wall papers. 


The particular sketch which we have chosen to grace the opposite 
page consists of a gray (bow-knot) ribbon panelled over a gray cham- 
bray. Above the continuous trim moulding the chambray repeats itself 
to the ceiling angle and there another ribbon border is appliqued over it, 
The latter border resembles the panel border except in the addition of 
roses that in effect appear to have been carelessly thrown upon it at 


equal intervals. The pattern numbers are as follows:

In many homes and apartments a continuous trim of the wood work is to be 
found. For this particular treatment the scheme shown in sketch adapts itself ad- 
mirably. Where the moulding appears at the regulation place (18 inches from the 
ceiling) the panels may be carried up to this point. The top portion of a panel may 
show over a door or window if the spaces permit, in the latter treatment.

The effect shown here is attractive enough to please most any young individual. 
The panelled scenes are taken from the upper wall and the frame effect is a part of 
the decoration used in forming the fence. The “posts and pickets’ may continue 
or be left out as shown in middle part of sketch.

The lower wall as shown is hung horizontally. The unusual effect produced 
makes it peculiarly adapted to “den decoration.” The motifs decorate the upper 
wall at pleasing intervals. The upper wall is a Tiffany blend and we suggest the 


same effect for the ceiling.

The idea 


is to place a panel over each step, dividing the plain space between the panels to 
suit the distances of each step. The hanging border is a new English treatment 
and is very artistic. This decoration may be appropriately used in a dining room, 
only work the panels at an even height.

A panelled wall in self-tones with cornice effect at the top makes a desirable 
background for pictures and yet loses none of the decorative wall-effect necessary. 
The above range of coloring is pronounced the popular tone for this season.

The treatment shown in sketch 26 is known as a delft effect, although the de- 
sign is Japanese. The leaf cut-out above picture moulding is taken from wall de-

the above decoration makes it applicable to most any im- 


portant room. The foliage panels are 36 inches wide and 6 feet high and the alter- 
nate panels in plain green Holzmehl are shown in a uniform width. The plain pan- 
els, however, may be made smaller to divide the wall spaces to the best advantage. 
The English motifs are a pleasing addition and are arranged in panels two feet in 


width.

The artistic blending of this hanging stamps it as a pleasing treatment for the 
threshhold of your home—The Hall. The cornice effect adds support to the ceil- 
ing in heavy relief as shown in sketch 31. 


HURG The beauty of our churches has 

ever attracted us. The fine quality 
of exterior architecture and excellent interior deco- 
rations has enabled many charming structures to 
be reared and to last into our times. 

Watch the church building with anxious care; 
guard it as best you may and at any cost from every 
influence of dilapidation. Count its stones as you 
would jewels of a crown, bind it together where 
it loosens, brighten it with new colors where it 
declines and do this reverently and continually, and 
many a generation will still be born and pass away beneath its shadow. 

Somewhat in this spirit, happily, have most of our churches been 
safeguarded from destruction, though not everywhere, and the preser- 
vation of the interiors of many must be attributed to the watchful zeal 
of those who worship within them. 

Patrons may avail themselves of the services of our “special’’ Dec- 
orative Department (Dept. D.), where skilled designers are ever ready 
to submit designs that are artistically and ecclesiastically correct in every 
detail. Upon request samples and drawings will be submitted and we 
feel confident that the completion of the interior will greatly surpass 
the beauty of the samples and sketches. 

It is earnestly solicited that your request be accompanied with rough 
drawings of the wall and ceiling spaces or at least the sizes of each, so 
that we can better accomplish our treatments. 

A church of the following dimensions, 50 feet long, 30 feet wide, 
Side walls 12 feet, End walls 18 feet high, six windows and three doors,

reason we call 
your earnest attention to a few very necessary 
things you should not fail to remember when order- 
ing one, or many of the decorations suggested in 
ene Decoration.” 


Brena, 


Our past experience recalls many instances 
where we had to write in answer to such as the 
following: “Please send me sketch V and X for 
two rooms 12 by so-and so.” The writer failed to 
state whether he wanted the cove moulding, card 
rail or plate rail. To insure prompt shipment on the day we receive your 
orders, we ask your co-operation in the requests given below. 


A—Where a desired sketch is wanted, please state fully whether you 
require the mouldings shown and if you wish the ceiling paper as sug- 
gested. In the event no information is given we will send everything 
shown in the completed sketch as illustrated. The mouldings—although 
widths are not given—conform in style with the designs shown in the 
wall papers and may be ordered without hesitation. The ceilings are 
also properly selected. 


B—The word “special” denotes that the pattern does not appear in 
our regular sample books. A request for samples or for our “Special 
Book” will result in an inspection of them. 


C—The quantities given throughout “Home Decoration”—for a 
room 12 by 15 and 10 feet high with four openings—is for the purpose 
of approximating closely the cost of an average room. 


As stated before, add one roll, crown, ornament, yard or motif for 
every foot in excess of the size of room given, or reduce in the same 
proportion if room is smaller than the one referred to. 


D—If you wish advice on decorations in any period, style or color 
scheme, kindly confer with Dept. D. Artists will sug See by design or 
offer in writing, intelligent ideas that will aid you in handling any 
problem before you. 


This department is a permanent feature of our business and those in 
charge of the work are capable and trustworthy.
